Glenglassaugh Rare Cask Release #3170 Whisky 39 Year Old · 1976 Vintage

Colour

Deep mahogany amber with a coppery glow.

Nose

Opulent Pedro Ximénez sherry perfume, a tapestry of raisin, fig and date folded with plum and honeyed toffee. Orange zest, dark chocolate and espresso lift the sweetness, while polished oak, leather and spice add balletic structure. Rich, dessert-like and velvety, this 39-year cask exudes luxury with a lingering, refined finish.

Palate

Silky and deeply luscious, this 39-year-old Glenglassaugh delivers pronounced PX sherry sweetness. Dried fig, raisin and treacle mingle with a creamy, velvety mouthfeel, redolent of dark chocolate, almond and spice. Rich yet balanced, the oak lends refinement as the finish lingers with espresso-like warmth and long, sticky fruit echoes.

Finish

An opulent, long finish that lingers with PX-sherry warmth: dried fruits—prune, fig, raisin—coats the palate, entwined with dark chocolate, caramel and a whisper of spice, gradually dissolving into toasted oak and a delicate sherry resin.
